I don’t sit on the couch and watch T.V. for 5 hours straight. I’m not a competitive athlete, but don’t expect me to go easy on you during a game of Sorry. I will never misspell the word museum after my fourth grade spelling bee, and I can’t go one meal without spilling something on my shirt. I will never understand Spanish and I cannot lie without bursting into a laughing fit or smiling uncontrollably. I am never the first one to understand a joke and I usually have to have someone explain the punch line to me afterward.
Hi, I’m Glenda and life as a fourteen-year-old freshman is difficult at times, but is also amazingly fun. Academics are vastly important to me. I hope to graduate high school with a 4.0 grade average and get into a UC with a scholarship for good grades. With all of the pressure to do well in school, I find it just as important to have some time set aside for fun. I love golf, so I hope to be one of the best players on the girl’s golf team for VHS. I also long to be healthier. As for my social life, I want to smile at more people and be a lot friendlier. I wish to join two clubs and meet people with the same interests as me. I love music and I currently play the piano. In terms of my future, I aspire to be an elementary school teacher. I want to hop on a plane and go see the world. Oh, and I know this is really random and totally counteracts the whole healthy thing, but I seriously want to slip-n-slide in chocolate. How fun would that be?
My friends and family are incredibly supportive of me and I am amazingly lucky to have them in my life. They push me to do my best, which is why I want to hang out with my sisters more, especially before my oldest sister goes to college. And before she leaves, I have to beat my older sister at chess, because I cannot remember one time that I beat her at chess. It’s one of my goals for life, beating my sister at chess. I want to write to my brother more. He’s in college and I usually write him a letter every two weeks, but I want to start writing him every week. I hope to help my parents out too, since they do pretty much everything for me, I think it’s time I returned the favor. My friends mean a lot to me, and they are the reason I am who I am, which is why I long to support them the way they have me. Although my goals may seem a little ambitious, I think that if I push myself, I can accomplish them all.
